II. Summary of annual meeting
   A. SIG Awards: there had been a member suggestion to revise our existing SIG awards (Advocacy Award, SIG Contribution Award) to make them more broad, though feedback was
       overwhelmingly that we would instead Update description of current awards to aid in potential applicant's understanding of the range of activities that would be acceptable to
       submit in order to achieve award; new SIG Board is working on updating the award descriptions and new descriptions will be available here on the SIG site ahead of the award
       application deadlines.
   B. SIG Partnership Opportunities: NAPNAP strongly encouraging partnerships between SIGs as both a way to meet SIG goals collaboratively and a path to additional
        accomplishments. Specific SIG partnerships we discussed were: 1) DBMH + Newborn SIG re: perinatal mood disorders; 2) DBMH + Adolescent Health SIG re: SBIRT training for
        NOLA (similar to what was presented by member Anne Derouin in Chicago, but more extensive); 3) DBMH + Child Maltreatment & Neglect SIG re: "No Hit Zone" campaign and/or
        preschool consultation; 4) DBMH + Children & Youth With Special Healthcare Needs SIG re: topic TBD. SIG members interested in participating in these partnerships should
        contact DBMH SIG Chairs to help in connecting with those working on these collaborations. A list of those interested in these partnerships can be found on this SIG site under SIG
        Volunteer List-->SIG partnerships.
